I can only recommend that everyone book this fantastic sightseeing flight because it was the highlight of my 3-week stay in San Diego. A very friendly and experienced pilot commented on the sightseeing flight with great expertise and we were able to take beautiful, clear pictures of Orange County and the surrounding area. The flight itself was very calm and relaxed!

5 out of 5 stars

The audio tour was very informative and easy to use. It’s a great way to get to know the area if you’ve never been in the privacy of your own vehicle.

Unfortunately, I could not use it due to a problem with my French telephone subscription which did not give me access to the internet.
